Upgrading My Classic ’69 Charger with Oracle Conversion Headlights: A Performance Review
Upgrading Your Sealed Beam Headlights: Halogen Versus LED
I know what you’re thinking when it comes to sealed beam headlights: "They’re ancient, not very bright, and stuck in the Stone Age." And you’re not alone. Many people feel like they’re stuck in a dark age when it comes to their car’s illumination. But, what about the alternatives? Let’s dive into the world of halogen versus LED conversions.
What’s the Deal with Oracle’s Conversion Headlights?
I recently decided to upgrade my ’69 Charger with Oracle’s conversion headlights. At first, I was skeptical – I mean, why convert when you can just throw some new sealed beams at the problem? But after installing Oracle’s bulbs and experiencing the difference, I’m hooked.
Here’s the Bottom Line:
Oracle’s conversion lights are a solid choice at $104.95 a pop. They’re mid-range pricing, offering significant improvements in visibility over comparable budget conversions. While installing them requires some slight modifications to your headlight buckets, the results speak for themselves.
Visibility: 8/10
- Ease of Installation: 7/10
You’ll need to cut out some old steel and mount the new housings in place. Not exactly easy, but worth it.
- Value: 7/10
Well-priced for the performance, but not the cheapest.
- Appearance: 9/10
If you’re into retro amber, you’ll love it. If not, might not be your thing.
